It's the Pacific Gateway edition of the Georgia Straight

Holy crap - not only is my former ESL-teachin' coworker Katie Ormiston (of Pawnshop Diamond, below) interviewed in the Straight by Adrian Mack, but Mark Berube, who also taught at that school, is interviewed therein by Alexander Varty! And then there's me with my Residents piece, makin' it THREE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME FORMER DAYJOB in the same music section! How about that!

Mark Berube plays tomorrow at the Cultch (Myspace here). I have a great photo of him somewhere that Femke took, but I'm not at my home computer at the moment, and the netcafe is makin' it very difficult for me to lift a photo from the 'net - sorry, Mark! (Those of you who don't know Mark's music might think of him as African-inflected Tom Waits-meets-Nina Simone showman; he's got an amazing voice). I, however, have plans for THAT night, too... But anyhow...

About Me

Writer, aging punk, cinephile. Fan of the obscure and outside. ESL teacher, occasional used bookstore guy; zombie when the mood strikes me. Haven't been based in Vancouver for awhile now but "Alienated In The Metrotown Area" is an even worse blogname than I already have. And I still have ties to Maple Ridge (sigh).
